Discoveries of fine-grained
gold north of Bald Mountain were made in 1890. "Gold Fever"
brought many prospectors to the area over the next 10 years.
In 1892, the Fortunatas Mining and Milling Company purchased
a group of claims on the head of the Little Horn River and Porcupine
Creek. The excitement led to the establishment of Bald Mountain
City, the most extensive attempt at a settlement in the Big Horn
Mountains. The gold rush ended by 1900 because yields were not
enough to pay for the effort of panning. SUBMITTED BY: Kevin
